I saw the same reddit post this morning and immediately thought of your previous video.
dont forget that CCP in their grand design made carrier fighters apply damage like missiles, and im not saying about missile salvo but primary weapons of fighters. Cech info on fighters and even "blasters" have explosion radius and velocity so your carrier dps applies to targets that are more or less big cruiser or battlecruiser and above.
So and it is prooven, tested and confirmed. A 100mn cruiser like Loki or ikitursa, hell even vagabond can 100% 1v1 carrier and kill it, because fighters will not apply dmg to 100m size cruiser going above 1km/s because their dmg is calculated at something between cruise missile and heavy missile
Thank your for your videos/content. I love eve, and I try to stay "up" with all the knowledge, but there are so many things I haven't done that it's difficult.. Which is why I go to the good ol' UA-cam. Hehe. Cant wait to fly a carrier! Have a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays sir! =)
✌🏼❤☯️
You're so welcome! You have Happy Holidays as well!
Waiting for part number next!
As usual, Init being pros while us Bee’s warp carriers to 0 on anoms and die.
Very interesting, I was thinking about starting Carrier ratting in null
Just getting back into eve. I have carriers and super cap. But I don't even remember how to find sites hahaha thank you for your vid. I'm trying to figure out how to do this stuff again before unlocking my thany
Happy to help!
what is your marauder of choice for ratting? Also, are you comparing Marauders to the HAC Ishtar? I thought Ishtars kind of stopped after L3 missions etc and Abyss, they can do the same ratting as a marauder? Thank you
I like the Paladin but the Vargur is better outside of Angel space IMO since you can select damage type. Also yes, Ishtars can rat all of the same anomalies as Marauders and Carriers. Ishtars do much less DPS, and survive by speed tanking.
Seems like carrier is sufferin from the same problem that HACs have. For example i wanted to upgrade from my Caracal Navy Issue to the Cerberus but in many aspects its a downgrade except tank. But i didnt really need more tank for my cruiser :) So im sticking with Caracal Navy.. Thank you for demonstrating carriers for those that cant fly them
What is the name of the soundtrack you use? I know it's the one that plays when you are in PvE anomalies but i don't know the name
I'm not sure, that was just the game playing in the background
@@cmdrpsylim1979thats odd, i only hear that in combat anomalies
Your fit being hidden really cuts off a lot of the impact as to what I might have to invest in as far as Carrier skills and fits are concerned. It's frustrating.
Anyways, I'm considering moving from L4 farming in my Paladin to ESS ratting, but I've never lived in Null and I've been in an NPC Corp for basically ever. I'd love to find a quiet piece of NPC Nullsec to call my own, but I wouldn't know the first thing about it. Any tips on moving out there?
Believe me when I tell you I wish I could share my fit with you. Releasing a video like this puts a target on my back and I would be telling the whalers what (and how many) weapons to bring if I publicly revealed my fit (this is an important lesson in and of itself - countless people would love to kill your carrier so the less you reveal about what and where the more safe you will be). The fit you use is also very bespoke for how and where you will be using it - and whether you can expect a rescue team or not. Being a solo player in NPC Null Sec is tough for a few reasons, first of which is there are no i-hubs spawning anomalies to rat (which is what I think you mean when you say ESS ratting), so the signatures to use your carrier in will be spread far and wide and require a lot of travel - and taking a carrier through a stargate is a big no no. Two, you will have to build, maintain, and defend a Fortizar in whatever system you choose to base your carrier out of - unless it has an NPC station (and if you cyno to an NPC station you can expect to lose lots of Cyno ships). This is very expensive and it's just a matter of time until somebody blows it up. Third, you have no rescue fleet since you are solo, so your build has to be as self sufficient as possible which limits your DPS options a bit (that or you just write off your carrier if it ever gets caught because a non-tanked carrier is a wet paper towel). Anyway, here is a fit I put together for you assuming that you are playing solo and want to be able to defend yourself somewhat. Downgrade the tech 2 stuff as necessary. www.eveworkbench.com/fitting/thanatos/e9dc1c3e-c1e7-4c69-fb98-08dbff3b0bfe
I hope the above reply was helpful. If you want chill NullSec ratting, I'd suggest finding a less intense null bloc or null alliance to join that doesn't require monthly fleet participation. I know Brave used to have that, but I don't know what their recruiting status is right now.
Better just get into a null alliance. No matter how many years someone played, noone knows everything. But there is a bigger chance to find answers if u are in 1
Could you adjust your audio setup because you pop the microphone so much
I'm trying to, thanks for the feedback! It annoys me as well when I'm reviewing my video, and I don't use video editing software anymore ($$$) so I can't re-record those annoying sections. I'll try to do better in the future!
no life boom mer🎉🎉
Can barely hear what he is saying thank goodness for CC i'm hearing impaired and this was inaudible for me!
